“Advocacy”. Maybe you’re still unclear about what that really means, or what it looks like in practice.

Here’s a short primer on our work at AWARE: how our services for women (like our Women’s Helpline and Sexual Assault Care Centre), along with our research, evolve into our campaigns for more gender-equal policies and mindsets.

This is how social change builds in Singapore. It can be a slow and difficult process, but when it succeeds (and over AWARE’s 34 years, we’ve seen quite a few successes!), there’s nothing like it.

This video was screened at AWARE’s Time Traveller’s Ball on 2 November 2019.
